Synopsis
There's no such thing as a cyborg vacation in the fourth installment of this action-packed sci-fi adventure from the author of the Victor of Tucson series. Juliet Bianchi used to be a lowly scrap scrounger in Arizona. But when she was accidentally implanted with a beyond-awesome AI chip, her life changed dramatically-what with all the nanotechnology, bodywork, and other badass enhancements. Now she's a high-powered weapon-for-hire in hiding as . . . what else? A not-so-lowly scrap scrounger! When a new gig calls for her to climb aboard a swanky cruise ship on its way to Io, Juliet is more than happy to live the high life for a little while. And it gives her a chance to test out her latest upgrades, which just so happen to include telekinesis and mind-reading. Unfortunately, with great power comes some sort of responsibility. Because when Juliet tries out her new mental mojo on a crowd of passengers, she picks up some unwanted intel. It seems there's an assassin onboard who's on their way to make a hit. Juliet will have to balance being a cold-blooded mercenary herself with stopping a fellow killer. And then things actually get complicated . . .
